Coach, again I let my narrow experience get in the way of a broader discussion. "In my area", closely guarded rules are completely disregarded below the 7th grade level. So in my head, I was thinking this discussion was about 7th/8th grade games, or freshman games where you get really small kids.
So, let me restate. I couldn't care less how you call the closely guarded rule in a 4th grade game. However, in any HS game, regardless of the skill level or size of the players, the 6 foot rule should be applied as strictly as possible.
And some of us are tight about it b/c we've had a really lousy day. Sorry.
